TO PROTECT VOTE
Registration continues brisk at the
county clerk's office, and to date,
there has been an increase in the
number of Democrats, chiefly from
the country districts. There has
been some renouncing of the Repub
lican faith In this city, but the sen
timent against the administration lies
In the Eagle Point, Evans Creek and
Ashland precincts. Many of the new
registrants have not voted at the last
two elections, and some were former
ly listed as Independents, Socialists,
prohibitionists or miscellaneous.
Registration books close April 10,
and no figures on the number of
voters will be available until then
It is estimated that the lists will to
tal those of 1923 and 1038, when
especially heavy registration was
made.

Before a large congregation In the
First M. E. church Sunday morn
ing. Rev, A. G. Bennett made a pas
toral statement concerning the 11
nanclal difficulties with the bond
ing company In St. Louis, which
culminated in the court proceedings
for foreclosure and the sate of the
property by the sheriff last week.
Dr. Bennett expressed deep con
cern as to the Impressions the peo
ple of Medford generally are getting
In these matters, and his desire tnat
all might understand the altuation
and how It has developed.
"The story" said Dr. Bennett,
begins about seven years ago, not
long after the beautiful new edifice
was built and dedicated.
In 1938 the church obtained a
loan of 35,000 from the Mercantile
Commerce Bank and Trust Co., of
St. Louis. The loan to run for 10
yeara at 8 per cent Interest, payable
semi-annually. In June and Decern
ber. Also ftlSOO was to be paid
on principal annually In June.
For 5 yeara, up to June, ihju.
all interest and principal payments
were made In full, and the principal
Indebtedness was reduced to S29.0OO.
However, In June. 1930, there was
a delinquency of $1000 In principal
payment, though the Interest pay
ment of 870 was made, and 500
paid on principal.
'Immediately the Loan Co. began
threatening to foreclose unless the
1000 was paid at once. The church
began correspondence and appeal for
help to the Methodist Board or
Home Missions In Philadelphia. An
official of the board, at the pastor's
urgent Tequest, visited Medford.
counselled with the church officials
and made recommendations which
the church carried through.
Later the chief official of the
Home Mission Board visited Med
ford and proposed and agreed that
If the Medford Methodists would
raise S3000 cash by May 15, the Mis
sion Board would advance $7000 at
certain low rates of Interest; and
further condition was that this
$7000 was to be applied solely on
the principal Indebtedness, and also
that the $3000 raised locally was
to be applied solely on principal;
also that any delinquency In Interest
was to be paid to date of receiving
the $7000.
"During the period of this corres
pondence and these negotiations an
Interest payment of about $860 feU
due December, 1930, and was not
paid.
"In May. 1931, the local church
had raised among the people the
$3000 and was ready to qualify for
the $7000 from the Home Mission
Board. The raising of the $3000
was marked by sacrificial giving on
the part of the people, some ot
whom went Into debt personally to
do so. This $3000 marked the ex
treme limit of the people a ability to
give In these distressful times.
Then In June, the Medford church
officials wrote the loan company,
advising them that the $3000 was
raised, and the $7000 from the Board
of Home Missions was expected, but
that theec two amounts, totaling
$10,000, could be applied only on the
principal Indebtedness.
"There was also the delinquent
half year's Interest payment of De
cember, and another half year's in
terest coming due immediately on
June IS. but with only sufficient
funds on hand for one of these pay
ments. This meant that If the De
cember delinquent Interest were
paid with this money, but not the
June Interest, the June delinquency
would place the church again at
once In danger of foreclosure after
the December payment and the
$10,000 on principal were sent to
St. Louis. The church would not
be saved from foreclosure proceed
ings. though the loan company
would be the richer by nearly $11
000.
"The Medford officials stated to
the loan company that they would
promptly qualify for the $7000
toward payment of $10,000 on prin
cipal, provided the loan company
would write off the delinquent half
year's Interest, and thua make the
church safe from foreclosure.
"Also the local officials asked the
loan company to waive a 3 per cent
premium required on whatever
amounts the church offered
principal payments In advance of
dates due. Payment of the $10,000
on principal would pay In advance
all principal payments due before
the year 1936. ThU 3 per cent
amounted to nearly $300.
"The church received no direct
reply from the loan company, but
did receive a copy of a letter from
the company to Bishop Lowe, in
which they rejected the offer and
took the church to task for making
it.
"Some three weeks after the propo
sition was sent from Medford to St,
Louis, the Medford officials, after
canvassing the wholo situation, con
cluded to withdraw It.
"The local board has been at I
loss to understand the action ot
the loan company. At no time has
the company asked what the local
hurch could do, or apparently even
tried to find out; and this In spite
ot the depressing conditions prevail
ing everywhere. They have simply
told the Medford church officials
what was owed and Insisted on
prompt payment, or foreclosure would
follow.
The church is yet hopeful that
some arrangement can be made with
the loan company whereby the prop
erty can be transferred back, even
though a considerable cash payment
be required. With the $3000 raised
last May and the $7000 help from
the Home Missions Board for final
settlement, Burely some way out
can be found.
"We Methodists." said Dr. Bennett,
are eager to save the property and
to carry on the work whicn was
begun In Medford more than 4ft
years ago. The church has not been
laying down on the Job, nor desir
ous to let things go by default, nor
to repudiate Its Just financial obli
gations. In order to maintain the
church as a 'going concern' and
meet Its running expenses promptly,
very sharp cuts have been made In
Its budget and In pastoral support.
A spirit of unity has prevailed in
Its official board, and all organisa
tions have been faithfully carrying
on their work. In spit of the em
barrassment and handicap, due to
the financial difficulty with the St.
Louis loan company, and the facing
of the foreclosure proceedings which
culminated March 31.
The pastor Is deeply gratified with
the sympathy and hospitality ex
tended by other Medford churches.
and feels confident of the fraternal,
prayerful and co-operative Interest
of all the congregations of Christ Inn
people while the Methodists are
wrestling with their problem."

Dollars Make Dollars
When Put to Useful Work
THE idle dollar does no one any good. Hoarded, it lies in the strong box,
gathering dust. It is worthless. It docs not even earn its keep. Instead
of bringing its owner an income, it actually costs money to keep it safe
. . . and the man who hides it away in a secret place lives always in fear that
someone else will get there first.
Tt was not hoarded money that built industrial and agricultural America.
Dollars that were earned by honest toil built the great plants that make steel,
flour, shoes, clothing the things people need and use. Honestly earned dol
lars, honestly invested, grow wheat', live stock, horticultural arid dairy pro
ducts. The invested dollars of more than 6,500 preferred shareholders of The Cali
fornia Oregon Power Company helped to build the plants that supply neces
sities to 60 cities and towns of the Pacific Northwest. They built hundreds
of miles of transmission and distribution lines. They are doing useful work,
all day every day throughout the year . . . and will continue to do useful
work, and earn their keep, while hoarded money loafs.
The opportunity to earn a return on investment is better today than for years.
Banks pay interest on deposits regularly. Sound securities earn, and pay, a
regular, safe income.
The preferred shares of The California Oregon Power Company have paid
dividends regularly since April 15, 1921. The 42nd consecutive quarterly
dividend on these shares was paid January 15, 1932.
Present Price $36 Per Share, to yield approximately 7 on the investment.
We will be glad to supply you with easy-to-understand facts about our 6 per
"cut preferred shares. Telephone or visit our nearest office.
